With everyone creating a different
party at the baby shower, how unique can you get, you think? Do not fret;
creativity is always brimming at the stores and at the internet. So you are sure
to come across something not done before. To start with you need to have a
streamlined idea that will flow into everything around the party. So from the
invitation to the décor to the food to be served it is that one idea that should
take you through.
Be unique by thinking about how you and your partner got together. There could
be some sliver of thought that will pass your mind. When you guys met and
thought about your babies were there something either of you said would do. Or
is there a desire among the two of you for your baby, then this is the chance to
show it. For instance if you thought of having a fairytale birthday for one of
them or bring them a puppy, you could have a fairytale theme or wild theme.

A few baby shower ideas are listed here below:
Quack quack duck – Let some rubber ducks float in your drink bowl. Miniature
ducks can be served in the drink glass. Duck balloons too are available to dress
your home and entrance. Duck soaps wrapped in gelatine paper make a great invite
with the invitation card tied to a ribbon and around the duck.
Go Baby – think of all the things a baby would need and then dress your home
with it. There could be prattles, pacifiers, toys, ducks and other kiddie stuff.
Baby bottles can act like vases, baby food cans can become serving dishes. A
huge prattle can be the centrepiece. Go berserk with this idea.
Outdoor theme – you can get all the baby toys like kiddie kitchens, Barbie dolls
and cars around the garden. Give mock drinks to your guests in the baby kitchen
teacups. Have games like tasting baby food blindfolded, feeding one of the
partners with a feeding bottle and so on.
You can get as creative being practical about the baby shower, making it an
event for your guests to remember.

When picking door
prizes and give- always at any baby shower it is essential to make them
interesting, not necessarily
expensive. Little gift certificates from your favorite store make ideal &
memorable shower gifts.
Baby shower Thank You Notes:
Most mothers-to-be are
naturally too busy at a baby shower having fun
to try to remember every item that is given to them and by whom. When the
mother-to-be is opening the shower presents, have someone at the party jot
reminders on a sheet of paper indicating who gave which gift. Another idea is to
have everyone at the party write their own address on a thank you envelope.
You
can even make a game out of it (each guest can draw a envelope out a hat - mark
one envelope as a door price winner). Both of these ideas make it a lot easier
for the mother-to-be when she's writing those important thank-you notes later on.

The appropriate time for a baby shower
There really is no set time for a baby shower. Most baby showers
occur in the last trimester of the mother-to-be's pregnancy stage, however this
is not a fixed rule. Some people even have baby showers after the baby is born.
Who puts on the baby shower?
Normally it's a family member on either the father's side or the
mother's side who throws a baby shower for the mother-to-be. However, it's really acceptable for any person close to the mother- to-be to throw
the baby shower.
